@AnthoVdo Correct

@sab8a Do you mean discuss with customer, ship update feature, send cold email, make marketing, repeat?

My startup's revenue over the last 8 years: 2018: $0 2019: $100K 2020: $1.5M 2021: $4.2M 2022: $7M 2025: $50M and climbing. People always want to know the secret... Tbh, there isn't one. Just years of doing the unglamorous work nobody sees.

@AndrewRoss00 @madeByMD2 If you haven’t listened to every single podcast from your competitors ceo, stalked every single previous employee and been banned from a minimum of Two subs reddits your not trying hard enough.

@sab8a @madeByMD2 any advice on how to head bash better?

@SamuelBeek This is amazing!

i am obsessed with things that: - are useful - the technology is cool - look sick this has all of it

$10,096 IN NET NEW MRR! That's what our MMM attributed to my socials. Across X, Linkedin & My podcast (Napkin Math) If you're a Founder, you can't sleep on your socials.

@madeByMD2 Kept bashing my head against a wall for about two years until I finally figured it out.... Most people give up six months in. MRR is only for people who can get past that!

@sab8a How did you get to your first 1k revenue?

VEED Fabric 1.0 API now on Runware 🔥

The founder who inspires me most isn’t Elon, Zuck, or Bezos. It’s James Dyson. He wasn’t the obvious genius. He studied art & built 5,127 failed prototypes before Dyson worked at 41. Most founder founder stories are about being extraordinary at a young age. Dyson’s story is about never giving up. We covered the startup lessons you can learn from him in the latest episode.

@SamuelBeek Really amazing organic reach!

100k views per day - thats what we are averaging on insta now :) (without paying influencers or ads)
